This version of Printrun adds a Quality Control user interface mode to Pronterface. QC-mode is intented to help beginners run functionality checks on newly assembled RepRaps. It is part of the D3D Workshop Kit, and its documentation will live here: http://opensourceecology.org/wiki/3D_Printer_Quality_Control_Interface

If you're not interested in QC-mode, then use https://github.com/kliment/Printrun instead.

For more on D3D, see http://opensourceecology.org/wiki/D3D_Development

D3D-Printrun has the same dependencies as Printrun and does not remove or interfere with any functionality from Printrun. Installation and usage instructions at https://github.com/kliment/Printrun will work. Ubuntu/Debian and D3D Porteus instructions are included here for easier reference, since those are the distros used by the D3D Project.

You can run Printrun directly from source. Fetch and install the dependencies using

sudo apt-get install python-serial python-wxgtk2.8 python-pyglet python-numpy cython python-libxml2 python-gobject python-dbus python-psutil python-cairosvg git

Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/tobbelobb/D3D_Printrun.git

and you can start using D3D-Printrun from the D3D-Printrun directory created by the git clone command, for example by typing

./D3D_Printrun/pronterface

This program is intended for inclusion by default in the D3D Porteus USB stick that participants recieve during workshops.

To use the Quality Control user interface, go through the menus

Settings -> Options -> User interface -> Interface mode -> QC

and click OK.

To hard-code Pronterface to start directly into QC mode, add the following line to the bottom of .pronsolerc

set uimode QC
